I've seen this problem on two different laptops and can't figure out
what I'm doing wrong:
laptop 1
Texas Instruments 486 with internal modem
laptop 2
AST 486 with pcmcia modem
Using mskermit 3.14. Both modems are using com2.
When I try to use kermit on either, It hangs the machine, freezing
eveything, till I do a hard reboot.
Not changing anything, I restart the machine, go into windows, and try
the modems using windows terminal. Everything works fine. So I know
the modems are o.k. and the interface between the modems and laptops
is also fine.
Check the comm port and other communication settings to make sure I
know how to configure kermit..
Exit windows.
Check the kermit initialization files, everything matches windows
terminal settings. Start kermit and everything works fine.
Now bear in mind the only thing I've essentially done is started
windows, used the modem in windows, and then exited windows. I
haven't changed anything else. All of sudden kermit works without a
hitch. Start the laptop cold and try to run kermit and both machines
hang.
I have the "Using Kermit" book, so a reference to the book is fine.
Thanks in advance,
jeff
